This paper presents a new model reference adaptive control method to control motor torque in direct drive reluctance motors in an accurate and ripple-free fashion. It is based on the motor's voltage equation and requires only measurements of motor angle, winding voltages and currents. In addition, we introduce a new optimal torque-to-current conversion which minimizes copper losses. Simulations...

This paper shows the application of fuzzy PID control technique to reduce torque ripple in an induction motor employing Direct Torque Control (DTC). The performance of the proposed drive system is evaluated through digital simulation using MATLAB-SIMULINK package. The simulation results clearly depict the superiority of devised method over the SVM DTC.

This paper presents the modelling of asymmetries of phase parameters (inductances) of permanent magnet (PM) synchronous motor and the analysis of the impact of these asymmetries on the instantaneous torque. The torque ripple created by phase asymmetries is simulated for three operating conditions – current-fed, voltage-fed and vector control operation, using specifically developed mathematical ...

In this article is proposed the Direct Torque Control (DTC) with Space Vector Modulation (SVM) based on Self-Tuning Fuzzy Logic(STFL) controller. This controller determines dynamically the load angle between stator and rotor flux vectors and in consequence the electromagnetic torque necessary to supply the motor load. The rule base for STFL controller is defined in function of the error and the...

In this paper a fuzzy logic scheme is applied for direct torque fuzzy control (DTFC) of five phase induction machine (FPIM).

The proposed fuzzy control strategy is simulated using Matlab/Simulink software. The simulation results show that DTFC method reduces ...

Direct Torque Control of inverter-fed Induction Machine allows high dynamic performance by means of very simple control schemes. In this paper various direct torque control methodologies as conventional DTC (C_DTC), modified DTC (M_DTC) and twelve sectors (12_DTC) have been analysed and compared in order to evaluate the influence of the motor operating condition on steady state performances. A ...

Direct torque control (DTC) of Switched reluctance motor is known to have simple control structure with comparable performance. However, the role of optimal selection of the voltage space vector is one of the weakest points in a conventional DTC drive. In this paper optimal selection of voltage space vectors is achieved using GA based neural network. Simulations results validate the proposed in...

This paper proposes direct torque control of induction motor simulation using conventional method. Direct Torque Control (DTC) is a control technique used in AC drive systems to obtain high performance torque control and thereby controlling the speed of induction motor. The principle is based on simultaneous decoupling of stator flux and electromagnetic torque of AC drive system. DTC drives use...
